The news story on Fox this morning is entitled “The Speaker Has Landed”. Pelosi goes to Taiwan.

And it appears that her plane was NOT shot down by Communist China.  I guess that, no matter how you despise Pelosi and the DemocRat party, you have to give her credit for guts.  If only the cowardly Biden administration had responded more forcefully to the Communist Chinese threats beforehand, instead of the NSA guy …

Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge. Dessert? or Desert? Or both?

I checked, and I can't find any place where dessert and desert happen at the same time.  So I thought I'd highlight a little of both.  Multiple times, we have gone to Arizona for Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminars.  Of course, much of the state is desert, so it's really simple to take photos of …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #210: My Three Favorites

I'm definitely not a professional photographer, so none of my photos have been published, except right here on my blog.  And it's really hard to choose favorites, since everything I post here is a memory, and brings back to life places I've been. My first favorite photo is especially meaningful, since I took it on …

Cool water, for a hot summer day

I'm pretty sure that most of my readers, if not all, are going through a heat-wave right about now.  You may be wondering how to cool off, when the outside temperature rises into the 90s.  So I have gotten together a bunch of photos, of lakes and rivers, to help you get through the sweltering …

Might there be a use for a smartphone in Feudal-era Japan?

Hubby first introduced me to Japanese Anime before we were married, and now I'm hooked too.  We watched the entire series of Inu Yasha, where the modern girl Kagome Higurashi time-travels through her grandfather's sacred well, and ends up in the medieval period.  She has all sorts of adventures with her dog-half-demon friend Inu Yasha, …

Sunday Stills: Going on a Road Trip!

Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips.  In 2006, I played with my local orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York (summers there have slots open for student and amateur orchestras to play for the local audience-our concert got standing ovations).  After the concert, we rented a car …
